STONE TEMPLE PILOTS Begin Mixing New Album

January 18, 2010

William Goodman of SPIN.com recently conducted an interview with STONE TEMPLE PILOTS members Dean DeLeo (guitar) and Robert DeLeo (bass). An excerpt from the chat follows below.

SPIN.com: Where are you guys in the recording process now?

Dean DeLeo: We're done recording and will start mixing Monday.

Robert DeLeo: Yep, we just finished the last two songs at my home studio, and we're going through the editing process and getting everything sounding tasty. A gentleman by the name of Chris Lord-Alge, who actually mixed a song of ours back in early 2000 called "All in the Suit That You Wear", will mix the new album.

SPIN.com: What should fans expect from this record?

Robert: Fans are going get a great STP record. We know what STP sounds like — we have a sonic blueprint. It's always worked for me to put myself in the ears of the listener. I ask myself, "What kind of STP record would I want to hear?" The answer is a really cohesive record with songs that are going to be lasting. Fans don't necessarily want to hear songs from me being the best person I can be. Those songs are for a solo record. STP fans don't want that side of me. This band is attractive because we bring it to the edge of a cliff and write songs that have attitude.

SPIN.com: Can you tell me about a few songs from the album?

Robert: There's a song called "Between the Lines", which musically is like PAUL REVERE AND THE RAIDERS, with that '60s sound that I've always been a fan of. It's a '60s rockin' basher! There's another song called "Huckleberry Crumble". It's funny: these were actually working titles from when Dean, Eric [Kretz, drums], and I were writing the music at Eric's studio. Scott [Weiland, vocals] has gravitated toward them and we're officially using those titles, "Huckleberry Crumble" included. [Faux British accent]: "And it's another good rocker, baby!"
